So that morning in 1962 I told myself: Let everyone else call your idea crazy . . . just keep going. Don’t stop. Don’t even think about stopping until you get there, and don’t give much thought to where “there” is. Whatever comes, just don’t stop.

"The characters in my novels are not just creations; they are fragments of my soul, scattered on the pages."

El éxito no se mide por la fama o el dinero, sino por la felicidad que encuentras en lo que haces.

我喜欢做一个自由自在的灵魂。有些人不喜欢这样，但这就是我。

"The writer is a man who is in love with words, who is obsessed with words, who is possessed by words."

作家必须是一个愿意独处的人。
